A seemingly tough matchup against Hassan Whiteside and the Miami Heat should scare daily fantasy players off Brook Lopez, but a deeper look suggests he has exciting tournament potential.

If you have played daily fantasy sports for a while, you know the importance of being contrarian, especially in large-field tournaments.

The purpose of this article will be to bring you high-upside players at each position who will likely go overlooked, giving you an edge.

Keep in mind when constructing rosters that these are contrarian picks. There is a reason they will be overlooked by many: they are risky plays. If possible, it's probably best to relegate these players to GPP-only use where high-risk, high-reward styles make more sense.
